How’s my weight looking?

I started tracking my weight in November 2011 and wrote down everything I ate. I stopped writing down my daily food intake this month because it was all pretty much the same. So what does my weight look like now?

The blue line is absolute measurements, the red line are mathematical estimates because I was out of town and couldn’t measure it, and the green line is a 30-day average.

You can see from the chart above that starting in early April, my weight started to go down drastically. I can about 5 pounds lighter now than I was even in March.

What I have been doing differently?

The answer is this: Nothing. I don’t exercise anymore now than I did back then. I eat more or less the same foods. I don’t take any health supplements.

The only thing that is different is the weather. My theory is that I fattened up for winter (which is plausible since December was a lot colder than November) and then once the weather warmed up in April, the weight started coming off.

That’s the only variable that has changed this past year unless I am somehow ignorant of other dietary or activity changes.
